Looking at you, streamers and angry defenders of Japanese ‘fanservice’ games.

    Are people really mad about nudity, or are they just mad that it’s not all het nudity?

    Edit: ok so after some research, looks like full nudity is an optional setting, and all body models (male or female) can have dicks or vulvas. Which makes me think there’s an anti trans component to complaints as well.

      They’re mad that Japanese games get criticism for sexual themes, but not western ones. Examples being Dead or Alive and Street fighter characters where panties and bikinis are shown. No one is mad at the nudity itself of BG3.

        “Sexual themes” in those games seem to exist just for the gratification of the (het male) player, as evidenced by the people getting mad when a game desexualises its characters after release. I haven’t played baldurs Gate but as far as I can tell nudity in the game isn’t there just for the eyes of the player, it serves a purpose in-game and in-story. edit: and at times (like in the character creator) it’s not sexual at all
